CLEANING CHART 10
Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and may crack or chip with misuse.
It is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers, especially acid or sugar
spillovers, should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth. This is especially
important around the vent opening for smoothtop cooktop. Surface may
discolor or dull if soil is not removed.
1. When cool, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
2. Never wipe off a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth. This may cause
cracking and chipping.
3. Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on exterior
finish of range. Oven cleaners can only be used on porcelain oven cavity.
NOTE: Protect oven bottom against excessive spillovers especially acid or
sugary spillovers as they may discolor the porcelain. Use the correct size
cooking utensil to avoid boilovers. Never place cookware or aluminum foil
directly on the oven bottom.

Grates are made of porcelain--coated steel. They can be cleaned at the sink
with soap and water or in the dishwasher. To clean baked on soil, place a
damp soapy paper towel over the grate and let stand for 30 minutes. Use a
non--abrasive plastic pad to scour stubborn soil.
NOTE: Never operate burner without a grate in place. To protect the porce-
lain finish on the grate from excessive heat, never operate surface burner
without a cooking utensil on the grate. It is normal for grates to lose their
shine over a period of time.

For ease of cleaning, remove soil from the burner as soon as burner has
cooled. If food boils over, remove pan to another burner. Then, cool soiled
burner and clean.
Clean, when cool, after each use with warm soapy water. Remove stubborn
soil by scouring with a non--abrasive plastic scouring pad and a paste of
baking soda and water. Clean ports with a straight pin or small metal paper
clip. Do not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a wooden toothpick. It
may break off and clog port. Surface burners can be dried in the oven set at
170°F. Burner must be dry before use.
